See below the full release from the Private Sector Commission (PSC): 

The Private Sector Commission (PSC) acknowledges the official announcement by His Excellency, Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali, President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, that General and Regional Elections will be held on Monday, September 1, 2025.

The PSC recognises the importance of free, fair, and transparent elections in preserving democracy and fostering the continued development of our nation. In keeping with our longstanding commitment to good governance and democratic principles, the PSC is pleased to announce that we intend to deploy an Independent Electoral Observer Mission, duly accredited by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), to observe the conduct of the upcoming elections.

Our Observer Mission will be composed of qualified and impartial individuals drawn from a broad cross-section of the private sector. The mission will monitor key aspects of the electoral process before, during, and after polling day to ensure compliance with the laws and internationally accepted standards for democratic elections.

The PSC reaffirms its non-partisan stance and reiterates its commitment to supporting an environment of peace, respect, and civic responsibility throughout the electoral period. We urge all political stakeholders, state agencies, and the electorate to uphold the principles of integrity, transparency, and tolerance in the interest of national unity and democratic stability.
